In One Of The Most Bizarre Outs You'll See, A Runner Avoids Home Plate And Slides Into The Catcher

With nobody out against the St. Louis Cardinals, Reds outfielder Chris Heisy was on third base when Brandon Phillips hit a hard groundball in his direction. But what happened next defies explanation.
